Industry Leading Security Features Messages are stored on Proton Mail servers using end-to-end encryption at all times and are transmitted securely between Proton servers and user devices. This largely eliminates the risk of message interception. Zero Access to Your Email Content Proton Mail's zero access architecture means that your data is encrypted in a way that makes it inaccessible to us. Data is encrypted on the client side using an encryption key that Proton does not have access to. This means we don't have the technical ability to decrypt your messages. Open-Source Cryptography Proton Mail's open-source software has been thoroughly vetted by security experts from around the world to ensure the highest levels of protection. Proton Mail only uses secure implementations of AES, RSA, along with OpenPGP, while all of the cryptographic libraries used are open source. By using open-source libraries, Proton Mail can guarantee that the encryption algorithms used do not have clandestinely built-in back doors. Proton Mail in the press: “Proton Mail is a Gmail-like email system which uses end-to-end encryption, making it impossible for outside parties to monitor.” Forbes “A new email service being developed by a group who met at MIT and CERN promises to bring secure, encrypted email to the masses and keep sensitive information away from prying eyes.” Huffington Post Follow Proton on social media for all the latest news and offers: Facebook: /proton Twitter: @protonprivacy Reddit: /protonmail Instagram: /protonprivacy Our open-source code base: https://github.com/ProtonMail EULA: http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula

Read full descriptionHide full description
SectorMap is a private offline archive for anyone who likes to collect, tag, and organize — links, references, notes, research, whatever matters to you. Think of it as a personal dossier app with a retro command console aesthetic. EVERYTHING IS LOCAL No account. No cloud. No tracking. No analytics. Records live in a database inside the app's sandbox and never leave your device. Delete the app and the data is gone with it. TAG AND SEARCH Every record carries a title, URL, type, description, source, and free-form tags. Full-text search runs instantly across everything you've saved. ADD AND EDIT MANUALLY Create new records from scratch, edit existing ones in place, or delete the ones you no longer need — all from a simple list view. THE GALAXY VIEW See your archive as a galaxy of clusters, grouped by tag or type. Drag, zoom, focus a cluster to see its orbiting records. A calmer, more visual way to browse a growing archive than a flat list. MULTIPLE DATABASES Keep separate archives for separate projects. Import database files, or export as database files or CSV, to move data between devices or back it up on your own terms. Imports merge intelligently — records matching on URL and title update in place instead of duplicating. SECTOR D COMMAND The landing screen is a small love letter to old animated spy-HQ aesthetics — monospace terminals, mission-console panels, a little absurdity. Tap the colored lights below the ENGAGE HAMSTER-CORE button to switch between the app's top-level pages, then ignite to jump into the archive view for that mode. Your data is yours. It stays on your phone.
